Legend

this man served the Alliance as a Corporal during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Corporal Rolado led the first Alliance scout team dispatched to the planet Hoth, during the search for a new base. He met with Jonox Forb to discuss the possibilities of using Hoth as a base, and it was on Forb's advice that Rolado investigated the use of tauntauns as mounts. A native of Velmor, Rolado had previous experience riding ycaqts before his family moved to Corellia. He was able to capture a group of tauntauns, and was only able to approach a female after sedating her. This proved to be the turning point, however, as the female soon accepted his companionship. She then used the tauntaun's own form of communication to relay to her companions that the Alliance personnel were friendly.
